Not sure if I ever told this tale on here before but it epitomised to me the sort of banter you hear every day in Leeds.Was on a bus going into town the day after the second lot of attempted London bombings, two weeks after the original episode on 7/7/2005. Two old ladies sitting behind me.First old lady: 'Eee, I see they tried to bomb London again din't they?'Second old lady: 'Aye. They didn't go off though did they?'First old lady: 'No.' <pause> 'They weren't as good as our lot were they?'

Also on the theme of bombs, this from yesterdays Telegraph. Looks like the Yorkshire Republican Army have come on in leaps and bounds since their days as football hooligans.

3-4 years ago there was an entry in VIZ magazines 'Roger Profanisaurus'.Free the Middleton two.this was explained as the act of boy racers driving at speed over road humps,so fast that it freed the girlfriends breasts over the top of her blouse and bra.This is named after a district of Leeds where there is much of this street furniture and lots of large t~~ted single mothers.
